turbo8's latest activity

Took it to the race track.

Took a little drive up north to Banff for a relaxing week. I think I hit the point where the LX is finally broken in. In the first three days we visited Kootenai, Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Glacier (the Canadian one and not Waterton) National Parks

I spent last weekend prepping the front end to accept some 37's over the winter. Followed the amazingly detailed post by @TeCKis300. Sourced an Eastwood roller from Marketplace. I had to grind two stud holes to fit the 5x150 pattern and used a...

A little camping up north in Radium Hot Springs and Banff National Park.

I think the E&E 13mm front spacer and the E&E rear lower shock relocation bracket are getting conflated here. FRONT: just get the E&E 13mm spacer, that's the only part needed for the front suspension. This is the simplest product that maximizes...

Here’s me early on in the cutting on RW, 1.25” spacer, tundra arms, but no body lift yet. I run billet OTRE though which require the spacer. I probably went a little aggressive but I didn’t rub going downhill

Last time I checked he was still there! I had to run spacers to clear the UCA, but I only had 1.25” at the time. Since converting them, i can clear the UCA but there’s still the issue of the clearance needed for the tie rods I use. I found .75”...

I did the NST 1.5” body lift first and will be adding E&E’s parts front and rear, and going to try to stuff 37’s with minimal trimming to start all without touching the ahc sensors. But we’ll see what happens. Finding the perfect wheel offset...

The bouncy ride after sensor lift is a classic symptom of worn accumulators. You're right that accumulators should be in your future. It'll be the best money spent and you'll be surprised how great the ride is after. E&E Off Road 13mm front...

Well you're down another. Now to decide whether I paint it black or try to color match....

I will write a more thorough response tomorrow. But the bumper is on with initial bolt in. Need to go back through and loctite everything and put the edge trim on. As it sits, can’t put the rear mud flaps on with the smaller tire extender pieces...

Many thanks to @turbo8 for his amazing craftsmanship. Another LX with AHC and the E&E rear low profile bumper!

looking good!

Purpose and overview, to keep a log of my journey with this new to me 2011 Lexus LX570. I picked it up from Facebook marketplace in Marlboro NJ with about 130k miles on the clock. It spent the first 40-50k miles of its life in California. The...

Well, the police came and deleted our previous conversation. It referenced a 200 for sale somewhere, and that is not allowed. I thought there was value, however, in the ensuing conversation about the difference between the two vehicles. At a...

The story begins with a need for a bit more backseat width so that the mother of my children could fit more comfortably between two car seats. Our GX460 (pictured) was beloved and took us to many a national park on the East Coast, but the middle...

Same. Especially curious how you handle the AHC bracket. There is a lot of room for improvement.

@TeCKis300 cant wait to see your write up on this. I’m looking to install my bumper Wednesday this week before I go on a trip for Labor Day. But your thorough process is always well appreciated.

:)

I have 6 sets in stock. 1 set is ready to ship.

Not at this time. If I end up crushing my front plastic bumper off-roading I may consider it.

Cheaper option would be to make another part. you would have to drill an tap some holes in the main bumper part. I can do these parts for around $100 for 2, if enough people want them. I would put 2 tapped holes in them to secure your mud flap.

Decent spot for a diaper change and bottle.
